Just to let you know I have made a small update to the forum (been thinking for a while that I might need to do it and was reminded when looking at the meet ups board) to protect all our members.

If you are logged out of the forum you will notice that you won't be able to view (or find) some of the boards such as chat, beady business ventures, sell or swap your stash, and a few others.

I have done this so that the unregistered browsers can't see our private conversations, can't steal our ideas, or get wind of anything else that only our members need know (such as forum meet up details - don't want random weirdo's turning up now do we)!

many thanks everyone.

thanks for that KK, it did sort of cross my mind as I was arranging to meet people at the Wincanton fair that posting a time and place on an open forum was maybe just a teeny bit risky, you never know whether some weirdo might decide to show up!
(Mind you, at a bead fair you are at far more risk of being trampled in the crush round the lampwork bead stalls!)
